The Hedera Network has just become home to another real‑world asset milestone. Zoniqx announced that it is powering the world’s first tokenized upstream oil and gas fund for One World Petroleum (OWP), marking a major step for blockchain in the energy sector.
The new fund combines proved developed producing (PDP) oil asset acquisitions with secured oilfield lending, all managed through Zoniqx’s z360 platform and its zProtocol (DyCIST / ERC‑7518). These technologies handle the full lifecycle of tokenized securities — from issuance to compliance and investor management.
Each investor’s ownership is issued as a blockchain‑based security token, providing automatic compliance checks, investor verification, and transparent tracking throughout the fund’s operation. This setup bridges traditional asset‑backed investment with the speed and efficiency of distributed ledger technology.
By running on Hedera’s public network, the fund benefits from high transaction speed, transparency, and carbon‑neutral efficiency, which have become defining features of Hedera’s ecosystem. The structure also opens up energy investing to a broader range of participants while maintaining institutional standards of security and oversight.
Hedera is becoming a preferred platform for real‑world asset tokenization, especially in sectors like energy, finance, and infrastructure. The partnership between Zoniqx and OWP shows how blockchain can streamline complex asset management while meeting the compliance demands of traditional finance.
As tokenization continues to expand across industries, Hedera’s low‑cost, sustainable network and enterprise partnerships keep positioning HBAR as one of the most practical blockchains for large‑scale real‑world applications.
